Episode Synopsis


Even today, the class you are born into can largely determine your career. Research by Diversity Council Australia shows that more than any other diversity demographic, it was social class which most determined Australian workers’ experience of inclusion or exclusion at work. Talking about class at work can be awkward, especially when most Australians believe we live in the land of a “fair go”. But, talk about it we must.Amanda Rose, Western Sydney Women founderAuthor and journalist Rick MortonLisa Annese, CEO of Diversity Council AustraliaProducers: Kara Jensen-Mackinnon and Maria TickleThis episode was first broadcast on 31 May 2021
